Figure 2 – Machine Serial Number
The machine serial number is located on motor
table. The last 4 digits indicate the month and

year).
Standard Equipment
All K-400 Drain Cleaning Machines come with
one pair of RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves.
This machine is made to clean
NOTI E
drains. If properly used it will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly de-
signed, constructed and maintained. If the
drain is in poor condition, or has not been
properly designed, constructed and main-
tained, the drain cleaning process may not
be effective or could cause damage to the
drain. The best way to determine the condition
of a drain before cleaning is through visual in-
spection with a camera. Improper use of this
drain cleaner can damage the drain cleaner
and the drain. This machine may not clear
all blockages.
